~Lily~ It was as fun as I heard it to be and all the games Molly planned were so good and entertaining that it became more like a tight competition at one point. As the time went by, more and more I let down my guard as I gave it my all. We stayed up and chatted well late into the night. Our voices freely danced around the room while we focused on just the two of us and I was grateful we didn’t have any extra discussions about anyone else. We finally slept off with the liberty to wake up anytime since we don’t have to come in early to train or to see his face. “Are you hungry?” I stared at her with my eyes wide gaped as I held back the little laughter that almost immediately slipped out. “You don’t think it’s too early for that, since we aren’t going anywhere today?” I made sure to talk a lot slower so she could understand that we weren’t in a hurry. Definitely not her fault if she just woke up with her hands still on her face trying to rub the sle
~Lily~ “And we can always have a new leader concerning our stressful weeks.” She muttered with her back at me as she now stood in front of the door and twisted the knob to push it open. “We are having a new leader?” He sounded more surprised than I was and took the opposite of the question out of my lips. “What are you doing here?” I spitted out, staring at the once confused face now turned to a small Wolfy smile. “Came to get you, just because we haven’t been going recently to our usual place doesn't mean we put a stop to it.” He put up a frightful look, looking past Molly and straight at me. Thought that was on hold since we don’t have the usual family dinners because dad wasn’t around and beside the pack house is quite full, we can just have dinner with different onlookers trooping in because they weren’t aware. There also wasn’t any need for that, at least not now when I could stay with Molly and be far from anywhere and anyone he could easily re
~Cameroon’s pov~ “And we can always have a new leader concerning our stressful weeks.” Whoever said that muttered deeply like they were either in regrets or pain. No doubt it was Molly since it was her room and my very try to ask if anything was wrong got answered with silence as she walked away backing me. It wasn’t my first time in Lee’s room as I sat there making sure she wore something decent enough. We got out soon enough and just like before walked our way down to the local pub. “Should I be worried or this is the new normal?” I asked, my eyes racing all over her body to check if she was really fine. I mean we all know her to love food but with the way she’s eating right now, I think I should be worried and ask all the right questions before she bucks away. “Apparently this is breakfast. We slept late and woke up pretty late so deal with it.” She spoke hurriedly with her mouth full. I sat still and allowed her enjoy her food or rather munc
~Lily~ ‘Let’s think it through Lee.’ Raya’s voice wasn’t gentle and after all these days of not saying anything, acting like she wasn’t there even when I knew she was there. I didn’t stop one bit, letting my anger take control as I walked hurriedly after running off the lane from the local pub immediately I stepped out in fury. I was angry but it was clear now after Molly’s explanation that he only was playing with me, maybe probably plotting something more embarrassing for me. ‘Not now Raya. You freaking kept me quiet when I needed answers. I know you heard what Molly told us, so I’m going to put an end to this.’ I wasn’t relenting, allowing my present emotion to take a kind of his own and lead me straight into his office where I could tell him to stop all this playing and just straight right into whatever it is he wanted to do. I felt her hesitate a bit which was never ever so but apparently strange things started happening when Jaden started all this. ‘I
~ Jaden~ I couldn’t miss that scent for anything, I knew she was out there, standing and waiting as her sweet savouring scent lingered a lot. Normally I would be disturbed and my alarms on alert as Lily coming here wouldn’t ever be good news. But now things were so different, I knew it and I still didn’t mind at all. I waited patiently for her to enter. I knew she would, she was standing face to face with me right now and I could guess why she was here. “Lily sit.” I made myself clear as whatever she was saying wasn’t registering. I didn’t want to understand or even hear her but I knew where this all was going. “I’m fine here.” She was so sure, I could hear all the anger in her rolling of her tongue as she definitely didn’t feel comfortable with me. I let her be after staring at the empty seat for a couple minutes. It was all crazy and I knew it all too well. Who changes actions in a matter of days? I can’t be thinking of wanting her out of my life and this pack
~Jaden~ A week had passed after Kade brought in the new message to me. I hadn’t stepped foot outside my office for seven good days now. I was plotting, planning and looking at every fallout point. Kade handled the other aspect and inspected their training and also taught them quick moves that could come in handy. It was already spread throughout the pack and while others were pumped up to finally put an end to whatever this was and return back to the respective packs, my mama did what was most important to her and made sure we sent a note back to her mate. It was looking promising, noting that the fear I knew that lingered somewhere in their minds weren’t all too visible and shouldn’t be an issue to us. I was quite invested and while this has never happened before, my mind kept racing forth and back that I had to ask for reports every time of the day before being able to focus. “Go on, I need detailed reports and don’t hurry about it.” I relaxed back i
~Lily~ Days quickly turned into weeks and the smile I thought I had lost had found its rightful place on my face again. I was pissed at first that I didn’t get what I wanted because of Kade but hearing the news he brought made me make peace with it first. It was more important and definitely what we all needed. Maybe this was rolling on Jaden and thinking he had time to play around was why he did all that? Literally any excuse was fine by me as I left them to quickly pass on the news to Molly. Now it was a complete week and we still hadn’t seen him or heard from him. Well except, the messages he sends through his beta. “You sure are ready to fight?” Nova voiced out after commenting on my hair for the third time today. “Would be a waste after all this training not to, don’t you think?” Of course it crossed my mind multiple times if I was going to fight and lend a helping hand to the one person that never saw me as family or one of their kind.
~Lily~ “Gird up warriors, we’ll be testing strength today.” Kade’s voice could be boldly heard through the training ground as he spoke with much happiness. More like we just got to his favourite part in all this. “He seems happy.” Molly muttered, nudging my arms slightly. ‘As long as it’s not Jaden here then we cool. He can be happy all he wants.’ I whispered to myself , confirming I still could be happy again today. ‘If this could really go on longer, then I’m sure I’ll likely forget what he even looks like’ I mentioned to Raya who didn’t answer me in words but made her answers known to me. I brushed it off, refusing to continue in that conversation as I didn’t know what to say next, knowing we couldn’t really lie to ourselves. “So it’s going to be pretty simple today. You get to pick partners each and you’ll be together for the remaining time we have left.” He said completely free spirited. More like he won a lottery and he didn’t have to share
~Alpha Asher~ “They are prepared and ready?” This was a one time thing and we could not let anything go wrong about it. “Yes alpha, I just heard back from Kade and they should be here on their way tomorrow. “Nothing should go wrong about this plan or we’ll never be able to find out who the real culprit is.” The worry etched on my face wa becoming a normal due to stress, deprivation and lord more. This was a serious issue on ground and even as it looked actually like nothing, it was slowly eating his way to the heart of werewolves race. It was a great threat and easy means to curb it was never going to be an option right now. “You still think someone among us is the culprit?” Ross asked, real worried as he still found a bit hard to believe. “Even as hard as it may seem to believe, it’s the outright truth and I know it so well.” I gave him my quick reply as we decided not to talk about it anywhere here as apparently in a war ground, the walls
~Lily~ The image of last night's ordeal came flashing mad somehow I could feel my cheeks heat up with pink hues. I woke up and was just staring at him. It took a while to get out of his arms that he wrapped all around me and then without thinking it through I turned to face him. I was flooded with different kinds of emotions that I couldn’t put a name on it. The only thing that made sense right now was to stay right there and stare straight at his face. He was officially my first in everything that he’s done in days. I wasn’t too knowledgeable in these things but I wasn’t at ignorant to know that he made me c*m several times last night that I lost count. And with every strength that I had gone, I fell into his arms as I continued moving with so much vigour like he couldn’t get enough. I could still feel his breath on my neck, when his hands finally made contacts with my br**sts. The pinching, the squeezing and oh my, my head was already spinning a
~Lily~ It was becoming a simple reality as I stood in his room with my back facing the door. I tried real quick to catch my breath as the images were looking very vivid. It was dark in here and yes I did notice that the paintings were nowhere in his room when I was here earlier. That was the very least of my problems as I was head on facing the bed, rethinking what I just did. “Good thing, I like the light out too.” I could hear him utter very clearly in his light hearted tone. His voice resounded like a calm river, with its currently but more like it was currently at sleep for a while. Wait? Please tell me I didn’t just tell him I sleep with the light on. ‘Oh yes you did. And you said it so boldly like you were ready for anything tonight.” Raya spoke out not so calmly as I could see that I wasn’t the only fidgeting right now. I wanted anyone to tell me just know that I didn’t indirectly tell him I was cool with whatever would happen tonight. “D
~Lily~ “Did you have a nice sleep or are you still busy with my mom?” His voice swept in like he’d been waiting for ages. I didn’t reply immediately as his voice was the first thing I heard after sleeping for only god knows how long. And the mention of how he personalised his mom strangely sounded not so annoying like it always used to be. “Should go on helping her again soon enough.” My reply came like it wasn’t an issue talking to him in my head. Like I never used to have issues with him hanging in there in my head without permission. “Ohh really? You mind telling me all about this help that only you can offer, or can Kade come lend a helping hand?” He sounded so aware of everything being a complete facade. And with the sound of things, he just wanted to flow along. I took a second to really wrap my head around it as the fact that it was me having a conversation with Jaden through the mindlink and there have been no shouting and disagreement. “
~Lily~ I didn’t let the reminder that it's soon going to be my birthday get to me for long in my head as it drove different signals to me. I was supposed to be up and ready to leave according to what i had planned with Raya. Nothing was eventually stopping me and this was entirely what I was looking forward to but suddenly the urge to run away was slowly fading away. Like I could literally feel it and I’ll be deceiving myself if I said that was exactly what I wanted right now. Hate? Yes I still hate him and I also still wanted to find out why I could feel his sincerity through those words he uttered to me. You can pretend and fake sincerity but you can never fake it so badly that the other person listening doesn’t feel it to know if you are lying or not. “Oh my, thank goodness you are fine.” Her voice brought me completely out of it as I stared into complete emptiness. I must have stayed still for so long, thinking and drowning myself that I didn’t real
~Lily~ “Are you okay baby?” My mom didn’t waste time and went all out with examining my body and her eyes showing too much concern right now like she just saved me from the lion's den. “I’m fine mom, why are you so worked up?” I found myself asking after removing the hand I placed aimlessly on my forehead, that depicted my lack of understanding what was going on. I wanted to go on and ask all the questions in my head but I held back and swallowed all the words at the tip of my tongue, knowing I should be grateful right now that I got out. “Definitely not what I heard so I have to double check.” She didn’t agree with me and still continued. She changed tactics this time around, making it seem all funny and held back my laughter, trying to link one and two together. “Molly got to you?” I asked the question without even thinking twice about it. I already even concluded that it got to be that or nothing else. And while her actions were funny to me, holding back was gettin
~Kade~ “I just need to speak to him for a minute, it’s very important.” She kept on begging and pleading with her eyes as she didn’t dare go all touchy with me. “He’s busy. If it’s so important you can relate it to me and then I’ll surely let him know.” I faced with all seriousness so she could back off. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me anything before knowing that she was outright lying to my face and making up excuses just to meet Jaden. I guess keen eyes can be awarded to me after walking in the shadow of Jaden and watching his back. I knew everyone that had potentials of being a pest and had to keep details and tabs on them just in case. “I can’t tell it to you, I need to pass this on myself.” She said still speaking so softly that it was irritating to listen to her speak. I’m not sure it was her voice that was making me lose my patience. It had to be the very fact that I still remembered clearly what she had done to my future Luna. Yes
~Lily~ This was all looking extremely far from all the tricks we went round with or used to go round with. Now it was looking so scary and trying to put up a face or pretend my way through this wasn’t what I wanted to do. It was meant to be the end point as I opened my mouth and spilled all that I should, securing myself from whatever he had planned. He went calm, his eyes lowered, staring and holding mine in place. It wasn’t too surprising anymore since it had become a norm for days now. The words he spoke next also kept me quiet as I listened with utmost interest since it all revolved around me. He explained himself, saying things I thought I’ll never hear him ever say. ‘The almighty Jaden was apologising to us?’ I asked Raya as we found it so unbelievable but that thing in the depth of us could witness with him that he was being sincere. You could sense and see it with the way his eyes moved and looked so soft and gentle even they gazed directly at
~Jaden~ “Do you need anything?” I asked her, watching closely as I managed to make her sit on my bed with my different sets of portraits pushed to one side of the room. I didn’t really think about what to do aside from sticking my hands all over her body and places where she’ll definitely not be in support of. “Anything that’ll keep me alive would be fine.” She uttered with so much anger in her voice that I held back the urge to laugh at how cute she looked even when she tried to frown. I pretty much was blind and too carried away by pain and past events that I let it cloud my emotions and even my person. It was going to be hard to actually prove anything to her but I’ll try my best to make it quicker as I want her always with me. “Got that. Anything else you’ll need or you want to try to be a more specific lollipop?” I tried my luck one more time with her. “Yeah, how about your head on a platter and you stop calling me that.” She snapped with her head bringing out
